Academic Staff Union of Nigeria Universities (ASUU) has alerted Nigerians about a fresh crisis it claimed would surpass all previous ones in Nigerian universities.

To this end, ASUU sought intervention of stakeholders and well meaning Nigerians to prevail on the federal government to pay members across the country their withheld eight months salaries.

The chairman of ASUU, University of Ilorin branch, Prof Moyosore Ajao, raised the alarm at a special congress of the local branch held at the university’s main auditorium.

The university’s lecturers had staged a solidarity rally within the campus before retiring to the auditorium where they addressed the newsmen on: “Casualisation of Intellectual Workers In Nigeria: Prelude To Our Response”.

He said, “Though we have resumed work in our university, government’s ignoble stance of withholding our eight months’ salaries based on its ill-advised policy of ‘No work, No Pay’ is set to trigger fresh crisis.

“In the coming days, the union would respond by considering to invoke the ‘No Pay, No work’ policy and would abandon the works that have accumulated for those period which government has falsely claimed, through Chris Ngige, that our members have not worked.”

He said members of the public are “put on notice again that a fresh crisis, which would surpass all previous ones, is looming in Nigerian universities, saying the union members would not continue to do free work.

He added, “Our union and its members should not be held responsible for the consequences that its actions, in response to the crude wickedness of the Nigerian state, would have on all stakeholders.

“As a law-abiding union, we have heeded the directive of the court which directed that we resume to our duty posts while the substantive matter is being heard. However, after resumption from strike and to our utmost dismay, government decided, that half salaries be paid to our members for the month of October, 2022. This development is unacceptable and would be resisted by our union.

“The fact is that academics are not casual workers. Only casual workers receive pay prorate”

Sine That Show She Is Not Unto You

 If you feel like your relationship may be on the rocks, look for certain warning signs to see how she feels about you. What women say, how they act, and when they see you all can give insights to their feelings. Take note of the small things and step back to observe the whole picture and you’ll get a reading on your relationship that will show red flags or a green light;

1. Observe her body position when she is with you. A closed body position is one where her body is pointing away from you, her arms are crossed, or she is hunched over to take up less space. Sine

Closing her body position sends signals that she is uncomfortable or nervous about something. If she is doing this consistently in a relationship, it may be a sign she's not that into you.

If your girlfriend used to stand close to you with her arms down or on her hips, but now she turns away and crosses her arms when you talk, she is telling you that she isn’t interested in talking anymore.

If she conveys closed body language every time you are together, it is probably time to rethink your relationship because she might be wanting to end it.

2. Study her eye contact. Eye contact is an important factor in body language and can convey a person’s emotions. If your girlfriend keeps her eyes locked onto yours while you talk then no problem, but if you find her avoiding eye contact, something may be wrong.

If she darts her eyes around, looking at many different things while you talk to her, it might also be a sign that she isn’t enjoying the conversation or being with you.

3. Notice how much she touches you. Physical touch is one way that girls use to flirt with and show interest in a guy. Things like putting her hand on your chest, holding your hand, or brushing her fingers through your hair all show that she is interested in you.

If your relationship started with a lot of physical touch from you, but now she hardly gives any at all, it could be time to talk to her about where the relationship is going.A change in the amount of public displays of affection, like holding hands, can also be a warning sign.When a girl isn’t interested in a guy anymore, she might stop touching him all together and go out of her way to avoid any sort of physical touch.

4. Observing Actions on Dates. Keep track of how often she cancels plans or is too busy to go out.Cancelling plans is a red flag that something may

One Southwest APC State That PDP Might Take Over In 2023 Election

Nigerianewslite

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may take over another prominent southwestern state that used to belong to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the year 2023 election as things in the state have been favouring the opposition party in the last few months. The opposition party used to struggle in the state in the past but things may take another form and style in the upcoming presidential election in the year 2023.

Osun State is the state that the All Progressives Congress (APC) may not be able to reclaim in the year 2023 presidential election. This is because of the fact that the ruling party has lost its governorship seat in Osun State in the hands of Senator Ademola Adeleke who is from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The power of incumbency that has shifted into the position of the opposition party will not allow the ruling party to perform satisfactorily in the upcoming presidential election.

The fact that the governor-elect of the state, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) serves as an indication that the chance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to win the state in the year 2023 is limited. By the year 2023, the governor of Osun State will be from the opposition party and that will make it difficult for the presidential aspirant of the ruling party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to win the state effortlessly as it used to be in the past.

In the last presidential, the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) defeated its opponents effortlessly because the state was once one of the key states of the party alongside Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun and Ondo. Out of the key five states of the ruling party, the opposition has now taken over Osun State completely as the new governor of the state will be inaugurated today under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Aggrieved Northern APC Christians led by Former SGF, Babachir Lawal Endorse Obi-Datti:

WHY WE HAVE CHOSEN TO ENDORSE THE OBI/DATTI TICKET

As one of the foremost critics of APC’s single-faith presidential ticket, and also in difference to those who have patiently waited for our guidance as to where to pitch our tent, after a painstaking review and analysis of the alternative presidential tickets, we now wish to recommend the Obi/Datti presidential ticket.

We wish to briefly narrate some few reasons among many why we have endorsed this ticket and commend it to all Nigerians of good conscience who desire justice, equity and a harmonious co-existence of all Nigerians across tribes, religion and geopolitical regions. More over there is currently in circulation the fake news that I have thrown in my towel with the PDP. Nothing could be further from the truth. To me the PDP and APC are different sides of the same coin.

1 The APC same-faith is a deliberate, well-calculated plan to sow the seeds of religious and social discord among Nigerians. It is obvious that Northerners, in particular, are the intended targets and victims of this satanic plan. It is an indisputable fact that the whole of Northern Nigeria is currently mired in several intractable socio-economic problems due to the activities of several nebulous criminal groups. Agriculture, the mainstay of the northern economy, is all but abandoned because kidnappers and bandits have prevented people from venturing out of the safety of their homes. Interstate and intercity travel for either business or leisure have all but ceased not only due to un-motorable roads but more so for fear of kidnapping, armed robbery and other forms of banditry. Our rural schools have all but closed for fear of kidnappers. Government-owned universities have closed thus depriving the children of the already impoverished Northern masses access to affordable higher education. Thus, our out-of-school and idle children have become easy targets for recruitment by bandits and kidnappers. And there is no solution in sight.

Then, out of nowhere this man Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a renown Yoruba-hegemonist, a man who championed the establishment of a Ministry of Regional Integration in each state government of the South-west geopolitical region which he bestrides as an emperor, and a man who was once quoted as saying “I do not believe in one Nigeria” (THISDAY, The Sunday Newspaper, April 13, 1997, page 9) comes up with a Muslim-muslim ticket knowing fully well that religion is the underbelly of Northern Nigeria. APC’s same-faith ticket is a ploy to further sow discord among Northerners using the most potent weapon of social discord – religion. As Karl Max once said – “religion is the opium of the people”. Nigerians from all shades of the society must see this Tinubu/Kashim same-faith ticket as a proposal from the pit of hell that can only be conjured by the most Machiavellian minds known to man and therefore must be rejected wholesome by all lovers of our country and its nascent democracy.

On the other hand, Alhaji Kashim Shetima, Tinubu’s Vice Presidential running mate is a man who once said “restructuring my foot, let’s restructure our minds”. For eight years he presided over Borno State at a time when Boko Haram was overrunning the state almost at will and restructuring the minds of its victims against Christianity and western education. The kidnapped Chibok and Dapchi girls and many more are now slowly trickling out of captivity in the Boko Haram indoctrination camps fully Islamized and carrying children born into Islam in captivity – a true example of “mind restructuring” if there ever was one. There is also this little matter of an allegation of a very close relationship or otherwise between the Vice Presidential candidate of APC and Boko Haram! And, which Christian can forget one Kabiru Sokoto the alleged Boko Haram kingpin accused of complicity in the Christmas bombing of St Theresa Catholic Church, Madallah that resulted in 44 deaths and 77 injured Christian worshippers? Or that the said Kabiru Sokoto was eventually arrested at his hiding place in the Borno State Government Lodge Abuja? Are Christians not justified in being scared of a government run by these duo?

2. Surely, APC’s same-faith ticket is intended to shame Christians and bestow on them and their religion a second-class socio-political status in their own country. In particular it is a validation of the discrimination and oppression being meted out on Northern Nigerian Christians where they are now denied employment, promotion, contracts, and admission to read prestigious and marketable courses in government-owned schools simply on account of their religion. It is no wonder then that Alhaji Bola Tinubu thinks that the Bible is a book of jokes from which he can freely construct his “jokes” like his “Poisoned Holly Communion” and “Speaking in Tongues” jokes. If he is man enough, I challenge him to ridicule the Holy Quran even once as he freely does the Holy Bible. This guy has no respect for Christians and Christianity at all.

3 This APC ticket goes against the grain of Nigerian politics which in practice (if not in law) has always sought to achieve a religious balance in its politics and governance. It is worth noting that all the other seventeen political parties fielding presidential candidates have gone the way of established conventions and practices by fielding different-faith tickets. Truly except for its incitement to social disharmony, there is no sense at all in APC’s same faith ticket.

Furthermore, in our quest for justice and equity in the socio-political and religious space of the country, it is obvious that only the Obi/Datti ticket has the potential of speaking to the genuine clamor for power shift to the South-East and at the same time speak to the cry of marginalization by our people of the South-East. Obviously, a Christian/Muslim presidency like the Obi/Datti one will be most appropriate at this stage of our political journey more so since we are now transiting from a Muslim/Christian presidency. It will also achieve the regional shift of the presidency from the current NW/SW to a SE/NW presidency as popularly being canvassed . This is justice; this is equity. This is political engineering at its best and one that engineers peace and harmonious co-existence of the various socio-political and religious classes of our nation.

5 Nigerians should also resist the temptation of being ruled by the same set of courtiers who are recycling themselves, their children and their friends in a monarchal fashion, in and out of government to the exclusion of other segments of the society. This trend has resulted in these disastrous consequences in which we now find ourselves – impoverished, unsecured, divided, severely underdeveloped and massively unemployed with a widening gulf between the rich and poor of the society. A keen observer will not fall to notice that APC is a transmutation of Action Group/UPN that is dominated by the children or grandchildren of those who once run and ruined the Action Group while the PDP is a transmutation of NPC/NPN similarly dominated by the children or grandchildren of the people who once run and ruined the NPC. A government of either APC or PDP will only be a recycling of the same class of people who have been running and ruining the country from independence to date. Is it any wonder that Nigeria has remained static?

The Obi/Datti will give us breath of fresh air and the greatest opportunity to redeem our country from the quagmire into which we have been plunged by a recurring group of self-centred reactionaries.

6 There is a also this palpable fear and anxiety over a possible transition of the current presidency from one Fulbe to another – same tribe, same religion, same region, same courtiers. This has given rise to a heightened fear of a possible perpetuation of a Fulbe hegemony in the country. Besides, there is the perception by many Nigerians that the Fulbe are the main actors in the banditry and kidnappings currently ravaging the country. Therefore, there is a widespread perception that another Fulbe-led government will not have the inclination or political will to address the country’s security challenges seeing as a majority of the perpetrators are its kindred.

There is also this perception that appointments by the current government are driven more by ethnic and religious cronyism than by Nationalistic considerations. This has given rise to a fear of a possible perpetuation of this trend by another Fulbe-led government. Both APC and PDP presents us with these horrible options. The Obi and Datti ticket possesses a great potential to wean us from these problems.

7 Finally, as the political campaigns advance towards the election dates, the tendency to divide the country along regional, tribal and religious affiliations is gradually beginning to manifest. We can see very clearly that the APC having woefully failed in its original plan to instigate a form of jihad which it had sought through its same-faith ticket in order to capture the moslem votes, has now resorted to a tribal card. The battle cry is now “it is our turn” tribal card in the South-West. The PDP on the other hand, seeing new opportunities in APC’s failed jihad strategy is tending towards adapting both the religious and ethnic strategies of APC in the North.

Nigerians must be awake to these very dangerous campaign trends because any of the political parties that comes into government by pandering to ethnic or religious sentiments may not be able govern successfully and might further accentuate the social cleavages.

Men of good conscience should therefore look to opportunities that unite rather than divide us. Only the Labor Party presents this opportunity. We therefore call on all patriots to labor for our country in this presidential election. Nigeria’s future is at stake in this presidential election. Obi-Datti is the only way to go. All other ways lead to perdition.

Look for clients who have already established relationships with drop shippers for their items if you want to make money from dropshipping.

Two Country Where Divorce Is Not Allow

Nigerianewslite

1. The Vatican City

The Vatican City State is the capital of the Roman Catholic Church and the smallest country in the world. It is completely encircled by the Italian Republic. It is also one of just two nations that do not now allow their citizens to get a divorce. 

2. Philippine Islands

A group of islands in Southeast Asia form the Republic of the Philippines. It is located in a part of the world that touches four other countries: China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

The Philippines, a predominantly Roman Catholic nation, is one of just two countries in the world that does not recognize divorce as a legal manner of dissolving a marriage. Therefore, it is illegal in the Philippines for married couples to officially separate or divorce.

Since 1954, no court in the Philippines has had the authority to grant a divorce. Therefore, the Philippines is the only UN member state without a formal legal process for dissolving a marriage. To legally dissolve their marriage, however, residents of the Asian country have only one option: an annulment.

The premise of this type of annulment is that the wedding never legally existed. A marriage can be annulled in this way if all the necessary conditions for legality are not met, such as if the spouses have not reached the proper agreement or if the appropriate clerical action has not been taken.

HOW TO INSPIRE MANNERS IN YOUR CHILDREN.

Nigerianewslite

1. When entering the house greet your children or even hug them. This should help develop their sense of love and self worth.

2. Be good to your neighbours and never backbite. Never speak ill of other drivers when on the road. Your children would listen, absorb and emulate.

3. When calling your parents, encourage your children to speak to them. When visiting your parents take your children with you. The more they see you take care of your parents the more they will learn to take care of you.

 

4. When driving them to school, don't always play albums or cds in the car. Rather, tell them some motivational stories yourself. This will have a greater impact - trust me!

5. Read to them a short story and even a scripture a day – it doesn't take much time, but very impactful in creating strong bonds and wonderful memories.

6. Comb your hair, clean your teeth and wear presentable cloths even if sitting at home and not going out for the day. They need to learn that being clean and tidy has nothing to do with going out

7. Try not to blame or comment on every word or action they say or do. Learn to overlook and let go sometimes. This certainly builds their self-confidence.

8. Ask your children's permission before entering their rooms. Don't just knock and enter, but then wait for a verbal permission. They will learn to do the same when wanting to enter your room.

9. Apologize to your children if you made a mistake. Apologizing teaches them to be humble and polite.

10. Don't be sarcastic or make fun of their views or feelings, even if you "didn't mean it" and was "only joking". It really hurts.

11. Show respect to your children's privacy. Its important for their sense of value and self-esteem.

12. Don't expect that they will listen or understand the first time. Don't take it personal. But be patient and consistent

13.  Pray with them. Show them how to pray. Lead by example.

14. In addition, ask them to discuss their daily plans after their morning prayer and ADHKAAR. Children without concrete daily plans  usually join others in executing theirs. They fall easy to peer pressure.

15. Hold them and bless them specially every morning

Bola Ahmed Tinubu - an avoidable dymistifaction

Nigerianewslite

Mr Tinubu has reduced the office of the Presidency considerably. 

His ill advised run for that office has made the office of the Presidency which is the most powerful office in the whole of black Africa incapable of repairing the damage this run would have done to his reputation and standing in the eyes of the world. 

As Nigerian President, If he wins and which i am very sure he would likely win, he would be standing infront of the world diminished in stature and lacking in grace.

No Nigerian in the last 2o years have garnered the kind of influence and power that Mr Tinubu has garnered.

He has remained the core of the Nigerian political landscape. Playing a larger than life role in making and breaking political careers.

As Governor of Lagos State, he stared down the eyes of a rampaging Obasanjo Presidency who was intent on bullying its way through on all fronts.

Mr Tinubu came out of that battle a hero of some sorts garnering newer followers and building for himself a reputaion of mythical proportions.

He added to his allure by forging an alliance that uprooted a sitting President and his position in our history  assured.

He was on the way to being positioned as the fourth founding father after the immortal - Awo, Zik and Ahmadu Bello.

His statue would have been placed side by side and we would have been worshipping him as the founder of modern day Nigeria

We would have been talking about the Tinubu era the way the british talk about the Elizabethan era.

But somehow, someone whispered to him to go for the Presidency.  Inordinate ambition set in and the road to a whittling down commenced.

Daily I watch very sadly this epitome of brilliance wash off like mud from a stained statue

As he shouts- God bless PD..... I shed a tear. Who willl have the nerve to stop this. This is like wathcing a great champion being beaten mercillesly to a pulp by a young upstart.

Remember how we watched a stricken Mohammed Ali stricken and ravaged by Parkisins disease and with shaky hands light the Olympic flame.

Remmber how we contracted it to the lithe gazelle who floated like a bird and stung like a bee.

Remember how we cried. That is what we are watching daily in Nigeria today.

Our great champion is no longer floating, he is huttling down like an old diesel engine needing a quick overhaul.

The Ciach has to jump in to save the great old champion from further humiliation.

 Orthewise, we will watch the champions,  blood splatered face in tears.

I love Tinubu. I have always loved his startegic push. His moves from the NADECO days thru the Senate on his way to building the most glamorous and enviable political carreer since Nnamdi Azikiwe.

I had even met with him with a request to write a book on him. But what i see today is harrowingly sad for me.

From the young upstart Hundeyin, to the many shady dealings with his educational status, birth and other such types to his frail appearances on the soap box down to the ever so numerous gaffes, I cringe.

When will the coach jump in and throw in the towel. Is it until we see his stark nakedness that we will come to the realisation that we are watching a great desecration of a political institution?

Why are we so wicked. Egging him on when we know that he lacks the physical stamina and  the right integrity to push for a presidency at these times of information over flow.

The moment Tinubu refused to back a candidate and threw in his hat, I knew this would happen.

I wondered how he would run through the fire that is a presidential run without being burnt.

He is being burnt but the sycophants would not let him see it as they continue to sing his praises while extolling his virtues to high heavens.

I see Baba shake, i see him stuggle to hold the microphones, I see him slur his speech and i see him strugle to open his eyes and I wonder what is going on

Mr Tinubu needs to be handled with grace. He has given so much to Nigeria, he should not be hung out to be pelted with rotten tomatoes all for a pitiable run for the Presidency. 

Can the coach, whoever he is throw in the towel now..lets salvage whatver is left of his dignity for he remains my hero and a hero to millions more and we are not happy with what we are seeing today.

He should be feted, celebrated and staues built for him. He should not be moved from region to region to be  made a caricature of and to be laughed and mocked all because of a Presidency that he may not even have the physical strength to carry to fruition.

Enough  please. Give me back my hero. Please i beg you all.

Thanks

Changes That Take Place In Age Of 40

 Nigerianewslite

Do you know that when a man reaches the age of 40, his body undergoes a number of changes? Signs of aging in the body become noticeable after a person reaches the age of 40. Whatever the case may be, adjusting to these new circumstances is essential if you want to maintain a healthy way of life.

This article, which was inspired by an article on Medline Plus, will examine some of the changes that take place in every man's physique as they begin to age. Kick back and absorb the information in this essay.

The body of a man ages significantly after he hits the 40-year mark.

1. Weight loss: a man's body weight is primarily affected by his genes from his early to mid-20s till he is 55 years old. Research shows that beyond the age of 40, a majority of men begin to lose weight and become more slender. One theory holds that this is because aging males produce less of the hormone testosterone, which in turn leads to a reduction in both muscle mass and fat percentage.

2. Loss of leg muscle and the resulting stiffness of the joints as men age makes it more challenging for them to get around than it was when they were younger. This is due to the fact that as we get older, our bodies shift shape and gain weight, shifting our center of gravity and making us more prone to falls. When a guy reaches the age of 40, these changes become more pronounced yet take some time to fully manifest.

3. Older men tend to lose height, which is only one of the many changes that occur with maturation. The wear and tear on a man's skeleton and joints causes him to shrink with time. Men normally lose around a half an inch of height per decade beginning around the age of 40. That's why most people over the age of 60 look shorter than they did when they were young. This is the normal course of aging; no rocket science here.

4. The likelihood of a man becoming a parent decreases with age due to a combination of factors, including sexual changes and infertility. The aging process may not cause as many noticeable changes in males as it does in women, but it still does cause certain changes. In a man's prime, becoming pregnant is pretty easy, but around age 40, the chances of conception start to diminish and issues like erectile dysfunction start to arise.

Six Ways To Know If Your Partner Is The Right Person For You

 Nigerianewslite

The very phrase "Am I with the proper person?" suggests that you're doubting your relationship on some level. It would be so lovely to get a clear response and know that your partner is "the one" without a doubt. Unfortunately, when you first meet your spouse, there isn't a huge green light urging you to continue the connection. But since relationships and life are never so simple, questions and concerns are unavoidable. Long-term relationships may experience doubts from time to time. Pers

There may probably be times when you feel conflicted, bored, or even uncertain. This is especially true if you have a history of toxic relationships. It's critical to determine whether you're letting bad memories from the past detract from your current relationship, the expert advises. "If this is the case, take some time to discuss insecurities with your partner and look into counseling to assist you to get over your history. You can have a happy and healthy relationship in this way."

So if you have been wondering if you are with the right person, here are a few signs you should look out for in order to assess your relationship:

1. Being Around Them Is Easy: When determining if a partner is the ideal one for you, comfort is one of the most crucial emotions to consider.

It doesn't mean there won't be disagreements or tense times every now and again. It simply means that the atmosphere is unhurried and organic.

2. In a relationship, you are free to be yourself:

That being said, you are aware that being who you are is acceptable. Because you are confident that they won't judge you or love you any less, you are able to speak your mind, bring up difficult subjects, and let your hair down. "Bending to win someone over or win your partner is never a good idea. A vital component of a fulfilling and healthy relationship is being honest from the start.

This also implies that they approach you even when you're not feeling your best, such as when you're ill, unhappy, or distant because you're going through a difficult period, with love and understanding.

3. You're Still Excited:

Even after spending a lot of time together, there will still be exciting times, as when you greet each other after being apart all day. Everything demonstrates that you are with the right person and in the appropriate place. Not every day has to or will be passionate, but there should still be some joy about spending time together.

4. You have Similar Values:

Do you have similar thoughts, morals, values, and beliefs? Do you share the same worldview? If so, you're headed in the correct direction. While having similar interests and hobbies is wonderful, these things are much more significant because they demonstrate that you are moving in the same direction in life.

5. You can trust them to be loyal:

Imagine how it feels to call your partner and they don't pick up. or text them, but they don't reply. Or they arrive home from work late. Are you pessimistic? or be assured that everything is fine? According to Santini, the foundation of a strong partnership is trust. "This demonstrates you are comfortable with each other if you can readily trust each other in all you do,"

While past relationships might influence how simple it is to trust a partner, you can tell if you're dating the right person if: a) you can talk about these insecurities; b) they're open and honest, and c) they're prepared to go to whatever lengths to build trust in your relationship.

6. You Are Valued:

Keep an eye out for instances of disrespect on a regular basis as well as when it can be most obvious, such as during a disagreement, and ask yourself, "Are you safe? Do I experience respect?"

You aren't with the appropriate person if you don't experience either of these. Yelling, stepping over lines, calling people names, lying, and a long list of other behaviors are examples of disrespect. In a stable, healthy relationship, none of these issues will arise.

Habits You Should Avoid To Enable You Save

Nigerianewslite

We form habits in many different ways, and they can either improve or worsen our lives. If you want to improve your finances, you need to be deliberate about breaking negative money habits and replacing them with good ones because they always end in tears. The following are some bad financial habits to avoid:

1. Not preparing for an emergency.

Actually, your emergency fund is a great place to begin your savings plan. Unexpected situations happen frequently, as we are all aware. Take COVID-19, for instance, which led to several job losses and wage cutbacks for numerous others. The best way to ensure financial stability is to put money away for emergencies. 

If you don't have an emergency fund, you'll probably need loans or other outside help if you get into financial trouble.

2. Dipping into your savings.

Your wealth won't grow if you continually pull money out of your savings. If you lack the discipline to save, you will fall short of your goal of accumulating wealth. Never touch the money you've started saving towards a goal until you've arrived at your objective. Then you may focus and do far more than you had planned.

3. Making unintentional investments.

Money that is kept without a clear goal in mind is typically rapidly lost. If you want to save more money, you must have a particular goal in mind before coming up with a plan to achieve it. 

Start by listing the major life milestones you plan to accomplish, such as purchasing a home or a car or providing for the education of your children. Determine how much money you need to save and for how long.

4. Spending more or equally as much as your income 

If your spending is equal to or greater than your income, you are living from one payday to the next without a proper future plan. With this lifestyle, it is practically impossible to amass significant wealth over time.

Spending every last penny is still viewed as a bad financial habit, despite the fact that your pay may not be much right now. Avoid living a lavish lifestyle or paying more in expenses than you earn. Spend less money in order to at least have some cash on hand.

5. Constantly blaming other people for your mistakes.

A mature person is one who can take full responsibility for their actions. We all make mistakes, but those who learn from their mistakes are the ones who exercise responsibility. 

You might have made poor financial decisions in the past or are currently feeling the consequences of one. Instead of placing blame on others, accept responsibility and review your previous behavior.

Kwankwaso said this in Enugu, saying the party was setting up its offices in the southeastern state ahead of the 2023 general election, Thisday reported .

The online news media notes that the Kwankwaso can no longer withdraw from the race as the time to do that has elapsed, according to INEC's timetable for the 2023 general election.

Kwankwaso, a former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he was not running to be Nigeria’s president out of desperation.

He said all he wanted was to offer quality leadership to Nigerians.

“I am willing to step aside if the NNPP gets a better candidate butyfor now, I am the best there is and that is why I am working tirelessly to ensure that we win the elections and give Nigerians a better representation," the leader of the Kwankwasiyya political movement said.

Meanwhile, the Director General of the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council, Doyin Okupe says the party is still in talks with the presidential candidate of the NNPP Rabiu Kwankwaso with a view to forming an alliance ahead of the 2023 elections.

Okupe, a former presidential spokesman, however, said the LP is still looking to form an alliance with Kwankwaso.

He told Channels Television: “As a party, at our own campaign level, we are talking to Kwankwaso and his team again.

“I believe and I trust that God will help us that between now and December, we would bring together that alignment politically in the country and the country would be better for it.”

They were paid in pro-rata for the number of days that they worked in October, counting from the day that they suspended their industrial action. Pro-rata was done because you cannot pay them for work not done. Everybody’s hands are tied.”

The news headline has stirred mixed reactions among Facebook users, Read some of the reactions from Nigerians that come across the headline on Facebook:

1. But when they resume most of this professors and lecturers would start from were dey stopped just to cover syllabus. You people are not encouraging them, you are touring with the future of we students and it will fight you back

2. Very illogical reasoning! What happens to pending examination results and associated activities. The Federal government should announce cancellation of previous sessions not paid for and let's continue on a clean slate.

3. FG should honour and value ASUU and sympathy with them for well done job in calling off the prolonging strike as instructed by industrial court decision. However, remember, they borrowed money in massive from people so how would they pay off that credit to debtors?
